So you mean all those years studying to be a "script-kiddie" i can now go to a conference and once i leave i'll leave with a certificate saying that i'm a "Ethical Hacker".
Wow i'm gonna fly right on over and buy my some tickets for this conference, then i can go back and show of to all the other "skiddies" on Yahoo that i'm so 3li73 n0w....

Computer Data is pleased to announce that we are offering free two-hour Ethical Hacking seminar. The seminar runs from 6:30-8:30pm. This Ethical Hacking seminar provides an overview of areas covered in the Ethical Hacking and Countermeasures courses offered by Mile2. This seminar will introduce attendees to hacking techniques and methods used to break into networks. Attendees will learn how the focus of security has changed in recent years and will see live or simulated demonstrations of attacks on computer systems. Seeing the ease with which these attacks are carried out will show the problems faced by information security personnel every day.

Knowing how attacks are carried out is the first step to defending against them. Professional or ethical hackers provide an invaluable service to those defending networks worldwide. This seminar is not a sales event and is presented by an experienced security professional with years of network attack and defense experience. Attendees will LEARN about hacking and not just be shown frightening tools and attacks. For more information on this exciting and educational event, contact our Education Staff at (800) 755-0142.

O.k. first off I've been to many of there free seminars and there held by security experts for the purpose educating people who are new to and plan on pursuing IT jobs. Which is what any school does to promote themselves.

Second I put it in here in case anyone was interested thats what the training/Conference area was for. And if they call it ethical its better then just plain hacker or theif, cracker.

eth·i·cal

adj.
Of, relating to, or dealing with ethics.
Being in accordance with the accepted principles of right and wrong that govern the conduct of a profession. (yahoo's online dictionary)

I guess I wont post them anymore. If people need to learn anything they'll just learn it here!!!

I did not mean to be rude in my post, I was just joking around. I would like to apologize if I offended with that.

The point of my post was that many of these camps/seminars are somewhat fraudulent in their stated intents. They are either nothing more than advertisements for services or half-assed schools that won't help you gain the experience and skills that you really need/want.

It's no prob. Computerdata is highly repitable school in this area. I know what you mean on the fake school scams out there. This school teaches anything and everything on IT. They also offer certs. The only reason I put the seminars in here is becuase they are free. The hospital I work @ has an extensive network That cost millions and they send all Internetworking employees there.
And again the reason why they are stating that its ethical: Is for the purpose of trying to change the image on how people look @ us.
